Sindi:

I really don't know your problem but..................

In BL3 pmail does not do authenticated SMTP.

I am using BL2 with mutt for BL2.
Sendmail which got installed by mutt is a little script which invokes pmail to send what is in the file _unsent.

I think I have Steven's script 'mail' working again. I added back to
/root/.pmailrc the line
memo ~/mail/address-book

Links is now sending mail using Steven's script 'mailto', which I modified to send mail right away instead of just putting it into the outbox.

On the two computers where I had the older mutt for BL2, the newer one is not letting me do 'mu address' to start on the screen with the address line, so I can't use mutt with links. On a third computer I can use it.
Mailto is good enough.

I have to read more on how to use a different mail program than sendmail with lynx. The standard sendmail program is several hundred K plus config files.


I think sendmail does.

I had set up links (with Steven's help, modeled on BL3) to use his mailto
script (which no longer works now that mutt has disabled mailz because
they use different .pmailrc).

mailto "mailto %" 1 - used to call up his script when I typed in a
mailto:address in links or clicked on a mailto: link at a site.

I added to the mu script, right after mutt, a $1
mutt keesan AT freeshell.org brings up mutt in mail-compose mode
with this address already on the To: line

I replaced the "writemail" line in links.cfg with
mailto "mu %" 1

Same .pmailrc file. How do I send files starting in . from one computer
to the other? When I tried to send .* the whole system started to
transfer. I want to copy over the working /root/Mail/*

Lynx uses nano as the editor when I do a mailto: and I don't need to
send attachments so don't need mutt or any other mail program to do a
mailto with lynx. Where is lynx/nano putting the saved file? I can tell
sendmail to look there for it and tell lynx where to find sendmail.
It is not in /tmp. I am not asked about the file name to write to.
Pico -w is the default EDITOR in /etc/profile. Is there some default file
it writes to? If I figure this out I could use lynx as my mail program
until mutt is fixed.

Grep (busybox) does not seem to look in subdirectories. I wrote a mail
and then tried to look for the character string in it (!@#$%).

There are lots of mailz and two mutt- directories in /tmp.
At least one of my mailz mails went here as outbox002_0001. How do I get
it into /root/mail/outbox now that .pmailrc has been changed to work with
mutt?
